Very excited about Carol Kulthau's work. I think the way she incorporates feelings into the model is spot on. It is our feelings that get in the way of learning, and our feelings that spur us on to new learning discoveries. I will definitely use her work as a TL (when I hopefully get a job).
The fact that her Information Search Process is based on empirical study and psychological theory (Kulthau 2004) gives her model a depth that the other processes don't have. When I read it I thought 'wow this is how I learn.' It reminded me of Maria Montessori's work. She also came up with her theory by observing learners - in her case young children.
Why didn't my old principal champion Information Literacy models like this?
